Kolfage told The Guardian at the time that the Facebook crackdown was "a complete shock". Buying a url to sound like the opposition is a classic activist move, she said, adding that she was happy to "hijack" the right-wing movement. "Americans are not just happy" about it.

"You see, they'll never reach their goal, but no matter how much we raise, we're going to reach ours". "Americans aren't happy", he reiterated. On Dec. 19, more than $2 million was donated by 34,000 people, according to Fox News.

"If we can fund a large portion of this wall, it will jumpstart things and will be less money Trump has to secure from our politicians", Kolfage wrote on the GoFundMe page. "That equates to roughly 5Billion Dollars, even if we get half, that's half the wall".

As the end of Trump's second year in office comes to a close, his administration has not built the wall or secured funds for it - and a budget proposal passed Wednesday by the Senate did not fulfill Trump's call to provide funds for it.

The campaign description also says the fundraising efforts are capped at $US1 billion because that is GoFundMe's maximum fundraising limit.

Furthermore, GoFundMe's terms of service prohibit "not using funds for their stated objective", meaning that if the DHS were unable to accept the windfall, Kolfage may have to reimburse his campaign's donors.

"We haven't spoken directly to the president but would like to", Kolfage, who lost both legs and one hand serving in Iraq, emailed CNN.
